      <h4>Returns</h4>
      A hash of image formats and their properties. Each key in the returned hash is the name of a supported image format. Each value is a string in the form
      "BRWA". The details are in this table:

      <h4>Note</h4>

      <p>
        ImageMagick depends on external programs for some formats. Depending on how ImageMagick was installed on your system, some formats may not be available.
        If you have questions, ask your system administrator.

        <span class="arg">old_limit</span>
      </p>
    </div>

    <div class="desc">
      <h4>Description</h4>

      <p>
        Sets a limit to the amount of a resource, or gets the current limit for the resource.
        <span class="imquote">When the limit is reached, ImageMagick will fail in some fashion or take compensating actions if possible.</span>
        The default limits vary according to the platform. See the ImageMagick documentation for the <em>-limit</em> option for more information.
      </p>

      <h4>Arguments</h4>
      This method may be called with one or two arguments. The first argument identifies the resource. If specified, the second argument is the limit.

      <dl>
        <dt>resource_type</dt>

        <dd>
          One of the symbols <code>:area</code>, <code>:disk</code>, <code>:file</code>, <code>:map</code>, <code>:memory</code>, or <code>:time</code>. You may
          use a string instead of a symbol.
        </dd>

        <dt>limit</dt>

        <dd>
          If present, the limit for the resource. This argument is always an integer number. If the <span class="arg">resource_type</span> is
          <code>:file</code>, the limit is the number of open files. If <code>:memory</code> or <code>:map</code>, the limit is measured megabytes. If
          <code>:disk</code>, the limit is measured in gigabytes. If the <span class="arg">resource_type</span> is <code>:area</code> the limit is the maximum
          width * height of an image in pixels that can reside in pixel cache memory. If <code>:time</code>, the limit is measured in seconds. If this argument
          is omitted the limit is not changed.
        </dd>
      </dl>

      <h4>Returns</h4>

      <p>The current resource limit. If a new limit is specified this is the limit <em>before</em> the change.</p>

      <h4>Notes</h4>

      <p>This method supercedes <code>set_cache_threshold</code>.</p>

      <p>
        Setting the <code>:time</code> limit resets the elapsed time to zero in the pixel cache. Call it before any operation that you need to set a time limit
        on.
      </p>
    </div>

    <div class="sig">
      <h3 id="set_cache_threshold">set_cache_threshold</h3>

      <p>Magick.set_cache_threshold(<span class="arg">threshold</span>)</p>
    </div>

    <div class="desc">
      <h4>Description</h4>

      <p>
        Set the amount of free memory allocated for the pixel cache. Once this threshold is exceeded, all subsequent pixels cache operations are to/from disk.
      </p>

      <h4>Argument</h4>

      <p>A number of megabytes to set.</p>

      <p>Magick.set_log_event_mask(<span class="arg">event_list</span>)</p>
    </div>

    <div class="desc">
      <h4>Description</h4>

      <p>Specify which events to log.</p>

      <h4>Argument</h4>

      <p>A string composed of one or more of the following event types. If more than one event type is specified, separate the event types with commas.</p>

      <p>
        <code>All, Annotate, Blob, Cache, Coder, Configure, Deprecate, Draw, Exception, Locale, Module, None, Resource, Trace, Transform, User, Wand, X11</code>
      </p>

      <pre>
Magick.set_log_event_mask("Module,Coder")

      <h4>Log configuration</h4>

      <p>
        Magick logging is configured with the log.xml file in Magick's config directory. See
        <a href="https://imagemagick.org/script/resources.php">Resources</a> in the ImageMagick documentation for more information.
